Sorry about the lack of communication... we are getting very lazy! We are enjoying life at a slow pace! We still in Vuda Point marina but about to leave for Musket Island in a day or two to join the Musket Cove Regatta that is starting on Friday for a week. It should be a fun week full of activities and parties.
Days are going by amazingly quickly, occupied by few maintenance jobs on the boat, trips to the town by bus –quite an adventure!-, reading books in the cockpit, meeting friends at the bar. Tuesday nights is half prize pizza night at the marina restaurant and all the yachties are gathering there. Same thing on Thursday night for Happy Hour. A really good reggae band is playing on Friday nights and another very good band is playing on Sunday afternoons. So we all spend a lot of time at the bar, a great social venue. We have met new fun people and seen some other friends again whom we had met in the previous years.
Sharing a taxi this afternoon with the owners of the only other British boat in the marina, a great couple with a 4 year old daughter,  to go to Manaka where there is a pretty good supermarket. Party on board tonight with a few new friends.
The weather turned very windy, grey and a lot colder last week but he sun is now back. Nice temperature, not unbearably hot.
A few photos attached taken yesterday and also of our Isle of Man flag which is now proudly hanging at the bar.
More news when we will be in Musket.
